Chopping Up Truth In Media Since 2009

Phillippe Dauman

I’m back. Thank God. I didn’t blog most of the past year because I was writing a book that I got actual money for (just so you know, blogs don’t really pay) and because I just didn’t have an angle. Not sure I do now…

I think Tech reporters really only care about CES because it is in Las Vegas. If the show were held in a place like Fresno or Akron does anyone really believe reporters would trek from all over the world to see LG’s new roll-up screen? Of course not….

GO PRIVATE. There will never – ever – be enough growth and margin improvement to satisfy Wall Street. Maybe short-term the studios will get a bump by telling investors they are going to make 100 comic book movies over the next 5 years – but after…

Hollywood doesn’t need to panic yet – but the powers that be should seriously start thinking about changing film slate strategies. This is great news for filmmakers, terrible news for Hollywood’s bottom line. Tentpole movies, when they work, print money for years and years and…

Make no mistake – there is no chance Aereo will survive longer than two or three years. That’s a best-case scenario. Broadcast Networks are dying (it’s true) and will be dead in their current form within five years. In five years, who is going to…
